Tuesdayne of the railroad and joining Hooker's corps, already there. This gap has been left open to the enemy for a number of days. It is seventeen miles southwest of Dalton, and the next gap above it, in the same ridge, is Dug Gap, which we hold, and where the enemy has made repeated assaults in vain. Dug Gap is about four miles southwest of Dalton. It will thus be seen that the enemy has transferred the bulk of his force from our right and front and pushed them seventeen miles to our rear through Snake Gap. Meanwhile, Gen. Johnston has skillfully brought up a powerful supporting force to the defence of Resaca and made a corresponding change in his li

[from the Savannah News.] If private letters from the front be correct, remarks the Macon Telegraph, a most interesting and desperate game of strategy has been going on in the past few days, which probably found its solution yesterday, or will find it within a few hours.--The movement of Hooker's corps by way of Villanow, through Snake Creek Gap, if at first intended by the enemy as an isolated raid in Johnston's rear to take possession of Resaca and destroy the Oostenaula bridge no longer maintains that form. Immense columns of the enemy, with their trains of artillery and wagons, were on the 11th plunging down the valley west of the Chattanooga Ridge, and entering by Snake Creek Gap the plateau west of Resaca and the line of the railroad and joining Hooker's corps, already there. This gap has been l

He says he found himself suddenly in the midst of the Confederates, and he thought it better to surrender than to have a ball put through his body. He had no idea when he came into that place that he was getting so near the rebels. He says that the Yankees had become well apprised of one thing, which was that they are not fighting Bragg now. The position of the Yankees is on the west side of the Oostenaula river and west of Snake creek, which runs into it. What force they have there is not known. Our troops are most eager for the fray, whooping and yelling all the time, and sanguine of the result. They say, to a man, that they are "going to whip the fight."

uation. By private dispatches we were yesterday morning informed of the change of the telegraph office from Resaca to Calhoun. Our own correspondent writes from Calhoun, under date of Sunday, that "all the trains, hospitals, and supplies are being moved to Cassville. The enemy are still attempting to flank, and it would be diffie. Our army was on this side of the river, and that of the enemy on the other. It was said that one corps of the enemy, perhaps, had crossed at the ford west of Calhoun. The Resaca bridge was burned Sunday morning. In the fighting on Sunday our whole army was not engaged. Indeed the greater portion of it has not yet been under ttle of the pluck which seems to have characterized their recent charges upon our entrenchments. There was no fighting of consequence in the neighborhood of Calhoun yesterday morning when the train left. P. S.--Later.--There was a heavy attack made upon our lines on Sunday night about 10 o'clock, which was repulsed with

It will thus be seen that the enemy has transferred the bulk of his force from our right and front and pushed them seventeen miles to our rear through Snake Gap. Meanwhile, Gen. Johnston has skillfully brought up a powerful supporting force to the defence of Resaca and made a corresponding change in his line, which now runs nearly north and south, the right resting on Rocky Face and the left upon his supports at Resaca. Here, then, in the rather narrow compass of Sugar Valley, with Snake Creek Gap the only available outlet of escape if defeated, in his rear are gathered the host of the enemy in a grand desperate neck-or-nothing effort to flank Johnston and cut his communications. It will be recollected that Dug Gap is in our hands, twelve miles above Snake Creek Gap, and this is the avenue, if Johnston has chosen to avail himself of it, through which to

Newspaper accounts from Georgia. A correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy gives the following further particulars of the engagement at Resaca on Friday morning: It became necessary for Gen. Johnston to move his army from Dalton from the fact that the enemy concentrated his entire force on, and passed Gen. Johnston's left, making a demonstration on Resaca. At 1 o'clock P. M. Tuesday he made an attack on the place, Gen. Johnston's left resting upon the banks of the Oostenaula, near Resaca. commanded by Gen. Cheatham. After a slight skirmish our men fell back, apparently in confusion, but in order to more effectually draw the enemy after them. The enemy run up their artillery to within about six hundred yards of our guns, when we opened on them with such fury that, instead of outshelling our batteries, we made them stampede. We were not expecting the enemy so near us so suddenly. All our commissary stores were lying in heaps at the depot, our sick were being

is as fair on one side as the other. One of the special reporters of the Atlanta Appeal returned from Resaca on Sunday evening. He gives the following news concerning matters transpiring there: The enemy are massing a large force in Sugar Valley, on the west side of the Western and Atlantic road, and their advance is within sight of Resaca. The main body of our forces have been moved to corresponding positions, and the two armies now confront each other in such proximity that a rting force to the defence of Resaca and made a corresponding change in his line, which now runs nearly north and south, the right resting on Rocky Face and the left upon his supports at Resaca.

possession of Resaca and the railroad, and opening a free passage generally. Such is said to have been the situation on the 11th, and it is pretty clear that Sherman has pursued a policy which must eventuate in a great Federal success or a terrible failure. [from the Augusta Constitutionalist, May 18th.] By the flanking movements of Sherman the two hostile armies in our front are gradually shifting into a new situation. By private dispatches we were yesterday morning informed of the change of the telegraph office from Resaca to Calhoun. Our own correspondent writes from Calhoun, under date of Sunday, that "all the trains, hospitals, and suppl conjecture where the next heavy encounter may take place." The impression is universal that Gen. Johnston has his adversary exactly in the position for him. Sherman evidently believes that Johnston is running, and the latter knows precisely what the enemy and himself are about. If excuse or explanation were requisite to

He says he found himself suddenly in the midst of the Confederates, and he thought it better to surrender than to have a ball put through his body. He had no idea when he came into that place that he was getting so near the rebels. He says that the Yankees had become well apprised of one thing, which was that they are not fighting Bragg now.
